IT’S A GREAT TIME TO GET STARTED WITH EFL…

Many people begin using Essential for Living without any formal training at all. They read the first four chapters of the handbook and, referring to pages 28 and 29, begin conducting their first skills assessment.
Others use the ‘newly enhanced’ Essential for Living Introduction and User Guide click here
Still others use EFL Video III: Conducting An Assessment Skill Deficits and Tracking Learner Progress with Essential for Living click here.
